When Marvel Studios brought Ant-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it introduced two of them. Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang suited up as the miniscule hero, while Michael Douglas played Hank Pym, one of the comics’ original heroes. A founding member of the Avengers, his hero days were done by the time Ant-Man debuted. The second episode of What If…? Season 2 is set in 1988, when Hank Pym was in his prime. It’s also the most heroic the character has been. In the Ant-Man films, Hank Pym was bitter about his time as the hero, especially having lost his wife to the Quantum Realm on a mission. He’s done heroic things in the films, sure. But he’s always had a deeply personal motivation to do so.Douglas never played the character as one with a deep well of compassion. What If…? Season 1’s “What If… The World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?” featured Pym as its villain, after Hope is killed working for Nick Fury. However, this episode finally shows the heroic side of Hank Pym. Not because he returns to superhero duty when the Earth is threatened, though it helps. Rather, Hank is at his best when he’s able to connect to young Peter Quill at his mother’s graveside. First, he trusts Hope, and then he believes Peter when the boy says he wasn’t responsible for the destruction he caused. “What If… Peter Quill Attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?” gives one of the original Marvel superheroes some much-needed redemption.Michael Douglas returns as Hank Pym, as he did in the Season 1 episode, which showed who Hank Pym would be if he didn’t have Hope. He mercilessly kills the original MCU Avengers in revenge for Hope’s death in the line of duty. Nick Fury, however, doesn’t love them like they are his children. Pym is punishing Fury by attacking the only thing he does care about: the continued survival of humanity. This version of Hank Pym is willing to let the world burn just to annoy the man he blamed for his daughter’s death.
